i haven't met one young catholic here yet but maybe i should just attend mass and see what i see... my portugesh is getting better so i probably would actually understand part of teh sermon too
call it "infotourism" for now
i think i will go to mass this sunday anyway, i pass the church every day and hear the funny different bell signs for things on the weekend
maybe the local faithful ladies will notice
but would it be disingenous to do it for curiosity and possible ladies to marry?
i dunno, i think that might be perfectly catholic too actually
My dad converted, and I reverted. It happens.
i say, i can make whatever prayer when i plant my candle estearina and i'm not gonna split hairs when it comes to the question of what day i should rest in the week, i think that there is some nuance to this
Catholic count from Saturday evening to Sunday evening.
The confusion arises from the modern habit of starting the day in the morning.
yes and for jews that is friday evening
but i'm not a jew and i'm certainly not SDA anymore, and my reading of genesis and two separate apocrypha detailing the same timeline says that there is some confusion about these details, an example being the timeline of the lifespans versus the modern time, because i am pretty sure that by the geology, babel was 6000 years ago, and that the whole thing has been corrupted
now, who was it was saying, someone was saying ... i know that the muslims believe that the fallen angels deliberately corrupt the texts, and even at the "official" 6000 years since Adam there is a mess
also, the modern morning being start of day is also out of sync with the official time setting the day as starting at midnight
and yeah, speaking of genesis, it even says in all three verisons i've read that corrupting the calendar would lead to decadence. and it has.
not only that, who defined october to december? that guy is clearly wrong, naming months after emperors is also wrong, this is not christian, how does a pope get off on defining secular things as being christian?
i'm in catholic country, and i'm getting better at portuguese, and i wouldn't even consider wasting my time with a secular maderiersa
